Got the one of the EL Group Stage cards in my packs, 82 RM. Nothing else after that.
I'm sat on 52 packs now. It's getting a bit silly.
Cheers Merse. Got schooled in game 23, but won game 24 to a rage quit in 7 minutes, having been 2-0 up. Takes me to 14-10 and Gold 3.
Annoyingly that does however mean that I only need to go 50/50 over the remaining 6 games to get gold 2. I should really be going to bed, but I'm playing so well.
The servers are going batshit.
Played on only to be 4-1 down in game 25. Disconnected and no loss for me. Second attempt, 1-0 up, disconnected and no win for me.
15-10. Sheeet.
2 from 5 needed. I'm guessing now with +5 form I can play some absolute beasts...
I despise this system of matching you up with harder and harder people as you go on, if you're doing well. I needed to go 5-5 from my final 10 games and I've gone 4-6 to finish 22-8 in the end.
1 loss on penalties where I was battering the guy all game. Late in extra time I rolled one across to a waiting Mbappe who did the animation of pulling up to a muscle injury.
Then 3 games running where I took the lead on the first attack. Then they instantly went all out attack. I missed good chances to put in a 2nd and they came storming back and won 3-1. Literally copy and paste 3 times over. Then came another loss in extra time. This time a first time finesse from a 360 spinning Mbappe saw me off at the death.
Needing to win my last game I came up against the toughest opponent and best team I've faced all weekend. He was 5-0 up at half time and I'm sat here gutted. More annoyingly I won my first 2 games on to get to Gold 1. Had I known this was going to happen I'd just have stopped there.
Considering the names coming in TOTW I'm gutted to have missed out. But I repeat, I fucking hate playing on Sundays.
15-10 becomes 15-12, including an absolute humping to a Nepenthez type who I can only assume had started late (he skipped every replay).
I'm out of squad fitness cards, the finger next to my thumb hurts and my contacts are welded to my eyes. I think it's time to call it a night.
Still, Gold 3. Fuck me.

Pulled De Bruyne in one of those CL SBCs. Liked using him in previous FIFAs so considering something like the below to fit him in:
I'd buy the normal Fabinho instead of the live item as price wise it doesn't make sense. He's also apparently the most used player in FUT this year, is he actually that good?
I could also go with Marcelo (or any La Liga/German) LB and play that new Kroos card instead of Guilavogui.
Opinions on Kroos/Marcelo since you're using both @Mahow?

Marcelo is brilliant, put stay back on him and he wont maraud forward when he wants. Seems to always been in the right position defensively too.
Took me a little while to click with Kroos but he's a brilliant attacking minded midfielder. He can go missing at times but his long range shooting and passing are great.
I'm really enjoying him as a box to boxer. Little less energy than the H/H's that I prefer but great output. Ended up with 5 goals and 9 assists from the 15 I played last night.
Think I've made my decision.
UCL live Alexis Sanchez and UCL live Raheem plus Aguero.
Alexis and Aguero will play up front with Raheem as the CAM when I switch.
Nice. Aguero and Alexis would scream 'finesse cunt' as soon as I saw your team
Sanchez NIF was amazing for me, that UCL is tempting actually, but I can't link it in any meaningful way in the B team at the moment and I'm reticent to let my Red IF Bailly go to waste, still in my mind though. Lemme know how you go with him.
Cheers mate. Looking back at the thread I was 7-8 at one point, so must have gone 8-2 to go 15-10. I was genuinely smashing people throughout that run and all the frustration and pain to get there felt genuinely worth it.
I need to get those skill moves nailed down to kick on. Oh and penalties too, I suck absolute balls at those.
Apparently there's a bug with penalties where the other player can see where you're aiming by where your player is looking. I've never noticed it myself though.
Since buying Shearer I've felt obliged to look at a side and then just blast them down the middle.
I always go down the middle in live play, but you can only get away with that for so long in an actual shoot out.
I always leave the arrow down the middle and move it right before the kick is taken.
Laporte TOTGS card up. Not sure it’s worth the extra 50k over his UCL
Not for me, but one hopes it will be useful in shifting some 83s and 84s from my trade pile.
Are we on 7 swap deals players available up to now for this month?
Did Kroos for about 30k outlay and 70k of opportunity cost from the club.
Wouldn't it be easier just not to make Man City players a requirement?
Kimpembe UCL Live is up to 360k
Seriously beginning to consider selling him even though I did Alves.
Cheers Danny.
Just need to do the La Liga scorers one in rival wins to get me up to 7.
Can't miss one as need all 14 for Gameiro.
Anyone doing Parolo? After Tah I can't face it and I have worse Italians than I do Germans.
Anyone come across a good finishing tutorial video?
I'm so bad this year after nerfs to the driven shot and crosses.
Also, I'm not sure on Sterling as he's not that great as a CAM.
Really liking the front two of Sanchez and Aguero though. Haven't scored a great deal with them (shit finishing) but they're linking up so much better and getting into great positions.
Crossing definitely works this year, you just need 3 bars+ and perhaps someone who can jump and head to finish.
My Weekend League transformation was borne about by the realisation I was hitting crosses far too tamely.
As for finishing, use the trainer to get to grips with it. You can turn most of the rest of the shit off.
I must not be using enough power then.
95% of the time a defender calmly heads it away.
Two clubs to go to finish the Bundesliga SBC first time around. Which even though they're the shitters is probably worth doing so I can unlock the value packs for the 2nd round.
I've been watching a few people the past few weeks to try and get better and make my way up into Elite. I was doing well this past week until I started having an eye on my finishing position. As soon as I got to 21 wins with 5 games left, in my mind I had already made it and it definitely altered my playstyle. The big games that haunt me are the 3 in a row I took a 1-0 lead in and then switched off. But the penalty shootout loss was the one that hurts. I should have had that game.
Still, onto the new week. Team still looks like so:
100k in the bank with another 100 or so coming on Thursday. Not really sure what to do in terms of upgrades bar the obvious one.
Update live on console.
Didn't realise there was one coming.
Further nerfing on the first timed finesse shot. Made goal kicks favour the kicking team a little more. The ball will stick to the foot more when doing the Elastico. Supposedly fixed there being a giant player avatar in the background sometimes after coming out of a match.
https://fifaforums.easports.com/en/d...notes/p1?new=1
It has apparently made the position change glitch re-appear though.
Pleased to hear about the first time finesse getting a further nerf. Towards the end of Sunday, I found myself facing more and more of the sort of player who pings a ball into Hazard/Mbappe/Griezmann/Reus 25-30 yards out, only for them to swivel and thwack it into the top corner with the first touch.
I really like that. A perfect through ball by Aguero and then a first time outside the foot shot by Lingard.
Shame I lost 4-3 though. Don't usually let in so many online this year so that's a bit of a dick after managing 3 myself.
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/174...nzo%20Insigne/
90 Insigne the latest SBC. 336k ST card.
Also UCL MMS are up.
At least it's a decent upgrade on stats and a position change. But 350k? No thanks.

His IF isn't much worse and a ST.
1 upgrade - Feghouli the best
MM rewards - No boards in my normal packs and Murillo my best UCL.
Awful.
that Insigne looks shit for what it's supposed to be.
Finishing at 79 is keeping me away at the moment.
If Salah gets a ST IF tomorrow then I'll sell Sterling and Sanchez and go with this:
https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/1469664
If it's at RW/RM then I'll pick him up, sell Sterling and keep Sanchez with Salah dropping into the CAM role when I switch.
Sterling has been better today in the CAM role but he still feels wasted.
If he doesn't it's a fucking travesty. Could reasonably have Kante and Messi in this TOTW too. I'm going to have to pray I get lucky in those 100k packs.
They can't leave him out.
Hopefully it's as a ST rather than a winger.
He definitely played Striker all game too. Though saying that, Aubameyangs POTM item could easily have been argued to be a LW.
Specific team objectives are such a ballache. 1-1-3 so far or this La Liga Futswap one and it's driving me mad.
